If 3.5.x filesystems that had been converted into 3.6.x filesystems were
mounted readonly, and then mounted -o remount,rw, the kernel incorrectly
used the old format, causing FS corruption. Most people saw this on root
filesystems they had converted, since that is usually mounted ro first and
then remounted read/write during boot.
The suse 2.4.16 kernel update does have this fix.
